S 2830 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Improving Employment Options for DI Beneficiaries Act

This bill requires the Social Security Commissioner to update the list of jobs considered "available" under Disability Insurance (DI) work rules every three years, using current data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It specifically mandates including emerging jobs in new industries to reflect today's actual job market. The change directly affects DI beneficiaries whose eligibility depends on whether they can perform "substantial gainful activity" in the national economy. The Commissioner must submit reports to Congress detailing these updates, ensuring the criteria for work-related benefit eligibility stay current with evolving employment opportunities.
